"Transferable skills turn your past experience into your future asset." Hana DhanjiIt does not matter if you have been with the same company for 10 years or 25, or have taken a hiatus and are wanting to return to work. Changing direction can be daunting. We become experts at what we've been doing for so long, that we no longer see the value in our experience and our talents. We find it hard to see how we can go and do something else.

"HOW does not have a place at the table when we are in dream mode." -Jennessa DurraniHave you ever been walking down the street and all of a sudden you trip…over nothing? You look down sure you will see a hole, rock, or a crack in the sidewalk, and there is nothing. That can be what life feels like at times. We are just walking towards our goal, minding our own business, when we get stuck. When we trip over an invisible block.It's these seemingly invisible blocks that I dig into in this episode. The three most prevalent blocks that stand in our way that I've renamed HOWard. HOWard be his name, and we have no time for him and his nonsense.  In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I will review the steps we need to take to get over, under, and through HOWard and his invisible blocks and:How we need to take radical responsibility for our lives and path forward.How we need to be very clear on what we truly want to assure we can actually move forward.How we finally can navigate over, under, through and around these blocks that plague us.If you are ready to finally see these blocks for what they are and navigate them once and for all, then this is the episode for you!What to listen to next:Episode 89: CAUSE VS EFFECT: Which Side Are You On?Episode 92: LEVERAGE: 4 Surefire Steps to Power Up Your GoalsEpisode 80: STUCK: 5 Strategies to Lift You Out of Your RutLooking to create your next chapter, and need more than a podcast to get started?

"Before everything else, getting ready is the secret to success." -Henry FordOne of the most heard quotes from the women in my world is, "Jennessa, I'm not ready...not yet." I'm sure you can relate. There is likely something that you've been batting around in the back of your mind that you are going to "take on", but right now you just aren't ready. The thing is that we don't have a handle on what ready even looks like. When will the time be right? What needs to be in place? How do we get to ready?"Not ready" is a default mode that is neutral. That is keeping us stuck. In this week's episode, I help you shift out of default mode, and shift into "getting ready" one incredibly small step at a time!In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I will give you a 5 step framework to shift into "getting ready" using these tools:Visualization to help you picture what ready looks like.Commitment to help you to place ready on your timeline in the future.Breaking down the big hairy scary into small manageable pieces.If you are ready to take an active role in your life and start moving towards ready, then this is the episode for you!What to listen to next:Episode 85: VISUALIZATION: The Pull We Need To Keep Us on TrackEpisode 70: SKILL BUILDING: Start Where You AreEpisode  65: DOING MORE WITH LESS: The Power in 10 Minutes A DayLooking to create your next chapter, and need more than a podcast to get started?

“To change our circumstances, we need to change our story: edit it, modify it, or completely rewrite it. ” --Harold R. JohnsonAs Harold R. Johnson said, "We are all story. We are the stories we are told and we are the stories we tell ourselves." Now who doesn't love a good story. An origin story. A comeback story. A harrowing tale. But when these stories become so engrained. So much a part of us that we can not see them for what they really are they bind us. They keep us stuck right where we are. Why do some stories hurt? Why do some stories stay with us for years and years? This is where we explore in this week's podcast episode. In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I will illustrate how our stories are keeping us stuck and 6 steps to release ourselves from their binds, as well as:What stories are actually limiting beliefs.How to gain awareness around our stories and deconstruct them to take away their power.Step by step process for releasing their hold on us so that we can create a new reality.If you are ready to retire your outdated narrative and begin a new chapter, then this is the episode for you!What to listen to next:Episode 80: STUCK: 5 Strategies to Lift You Out of Your RutEpisode 64: LOVE YOURSELF: Stop Punishing Yourself On Your JourneyEpisode  18: UNLIMITED: A Framework for Identifying and Overcoming Our Limiting BeliefsLooking to create your next chapter, and need more than a podcast to get started?

"Words and images do not describe our reality, they define it."Do you find yourself feeling like nothing is going right? Life intervenes at every turn? We've been conditioned for years to be in busy mode. Making sure everyone is cared for. Every fire is put out. Every whim is attended to.

"Don't underestimate the power of a pause. It allows you to recharge and refocus."We have been grinding for nearly 365 days to get to this place right here, right now. If you are like me you are torn between "I want to sleep for a year" and "I can't wait to put this year behind me and move forward." But our best bet is to lean into the pause. To give ourselves the space and time to rest, recharge...to pause. By doing so we can start to see what's most important and where we truly want to go next.There are times like these that are natural pauses, but what is the impact that we can create in our lives if we were to intentionally build in pauses daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly? In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, we talk about:Giving ourselves permission to take a pause for clarity, strength and rest.How to use a simple "should" exercise to help you narrow your initiatives down.My method for creating pauses daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly.If you are feeling torn between rest and leaping, take a few minutes to listen to this episode to get intentional tools to set you up for success.What to listen to next:Episode 65: DOING MORE WITH LESS: The Power in 10 Minutes A DayEpisode 63: INTENTION: The Key to Living in the Present and Not on Auto PilotEpisode 59: THE EASY WAY OUT: It Doesn't Exist.

“We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” -Joseph CampbellA few weeks ago, I started the episode with "When I met my husband in an AOL chat room..." and never told the whole story.

"Visualization is daydreaming with a purpose." -Bo BennettThrowing out ideas, initiatives and goals is the easy part. Getting them over the finish line is the near impossible part. I talk a lot about daily practices and actions and breaking big into little as tactical measures to help us succeed. They serve as the "push" we need to stay on the course. But they alone will not get us through the hard times when we just plum lose our energy and our steam. What we need is a "pull" to be our backup when willpower and discipline fall to the wayside. This week I share my framework for visualizing our success to create that "pull" that we need. That visceral connection to our goal that we must create out of our intuition and not our of our heads.  In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I walk you through my framework for creating a solid visualization of you AFTER you have reached your goal and how to use that to create a failproof action plan, including:Why goal and action setting isn't enough to succeed.How to create your own meditative visualization.How to utilize the visualization to set yourself up for success, now and into the future.If you truly want to follow through on all of your declarations, resolutions, goals, and proclamations--this is the episode for you!Get your Crazed to Calm guide plus ALL THE BONUSES to get my Ideal Holiday Guided Visualization that you can use now for the holidays and for any initiative in the future!https://bit.ly/40LCYRAWhat to listen to next:Episode 17: MANIFEST: My 8 Steps to Manifest Your DreamsEpisode 52: INTENTION SETTING: How To Make Your Goals StickEpisode 53: YOUR WORD: Intuitive Vision Boarding Process for Finding Your Word of the YearNeed more than a podcast to get you back on track?

"All stress, anxiety, and depression is caused when we ignore who we are, and start living to pleasing others." -Paulo CoelhoDo you laugh in the face of those that say the holidays are the most wonderful time of the year, and instead want to avoid them like Aunt Mary's fruitcake? Are you bracing yourself for all of the awkward and hurtful conversations that inevitably come with the gathering together of all that are supposed to love us? I get it. And I have a secret for you. It's not about you, its about them. Or at least most of it is. In this episode I'm going to share with you a new perspective and mindset to try on this holiday season that will be another tool in your toolbox to go from surviving to thriving this December. Today on the Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I share with you a new perspective and mindset to try on this holiday season that will help you see these conversations for what they are--a lot of insecurities, anxiety, and malaise!I'll teach you an awareness game that will help you see that these hurtful comments aren't about you, it's about them.We'll then identify the root cause of why these comments hurt so much.And then brainstorm ways to help head these conversations off at the pass.Just because you are related to these people does not give them the permission to take you down!

"It's not the load that breaks you down. It's how you carry it." -Lou HoltzMy first year as a solopreneur I sold 750 home baked gift boxes. The year that my oldest son was born, I not only delivered 700+ gift boxes, but also published my fourth cookbook with my mom. He was 5 weeks old. Add in the fact that we are a multicultural family.

As a result, we sacrifice our sleep, our sanity, and our valuable time to do it all.  It's not sustainable my friend. Eventually you will become resentful of the holidays and everyone around you. Today on the Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I want you to see how you can reduce the stress, increase your sleep, and 10x your enjoyment of the holidays!We will start with the why and create a vision.Then work through how to navigate the inevitable crazy.And then layout how to make sure you don't miss a beat, a teacher, or a loved one.And a few bonuses along the way!Just because the holidays have always been crazy, hectic and/or a nightmare, does not mean that is how they must continue. You have it in your power to make this your ideal holiday season!Get your Crazed to Calm guide today so that you can do less and get so much MORE. More smiles. More memories.

"The best view comes after the hardest climb." --Benjamin FranklinAs moms we have been in survival mode for so long that we can't even see it for that. It's just become our natural state. As a result, we are prone to being stuck and blaming ourselves for our inability to get ourselves going. But this week we talk about how survival mode is not only dictating how we treat ourselves body, mind, spirit, and place, but also how we do our holidays. If we want to thrive in the holidays, we must first identify where we are just surviving. Where we have been dragging traditions along just because. And stop and just think about how we can do things differently. If turning the calendar to December sends you into a fit of twitches and makes you want to curl up in a ball and hide until January, then this is the episode for you.Today on the Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I challenge you to look at your holiday and family traditions with a new lens. To really look at what it includes and why you continue to include them.We revisit the idea of survival mode and how it is the origin of our stucknessWe discuss the fact that you have everything within you RIGHT NOW to thrive both in your life and in your holidaysAnd then I challenge you to look with fresh eyes on every aspect of your holidays to lean into what matters mostI want you to think of your holidays as a trip you are packing for each year. Feel free to bring along all that are must haves, and feel just as comfortable leaving behind what no longer fits.What to listen to next:Episode 54: SURVIVING: Bringing Awareness to Where We Are "Just" Surviving in Our LivesEpisode 55: THRIVING: The First 3 Steps to Your Best SelfEpisode 46: EXPECTATIONS: The Joy Killer of the HolidaysNeed more than a podcast to get you back on track?

Doing less is often harder than doing more.Do you see the holidays fast approaching and start to hyperventilate? Are you exhausted just thinking about all the "extra" that is the holiday season? We have conditioned ourselves to believing that if we are not exhausted, overdrawn, overextended, and going out of our minds to make everything PERFECT, then we are failing as a mom.STOP! The answer to having a memorable holiday season of more hugs, more smiles, more memories, and more gratitude, is to do less. Yes...less.If you can't even imagine a restful holiday, then this is the episode for you.Today on the Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I share a simple exercise to reevaluate your family holiday traditions and "right size" them to what matters most to you and those you love:We will start by looking at holidays of the past and where they went awryWe will inventory all that goes into your holidaysWe will find you whyAnd then we will conceive of a new way of doing each aspect that requires less time, but results in more of what matters!Gone are the days of more is more is more for the holidays. What our families want is more of US. More of our time, attention and presence, not presents.

"It's time to get your poop in a group." --Cindy Molgaard (my mom)Starting is hard, but starting over is even harder. When we have let our practices, routines and projects languish it is really hard to get back into the swing of things. We are so tied to what we "used to" be able to--I used to run 5 miles a day without thinking. I used to meditate 30 minutes every day, I used to be the first one into the office. But that was the old bar and if we can't let that go we will never start again. In this episode I go through the seven steps of getting your poop in a group as my mother would say and how to restart any practice, routine, or project to get you onto the road for successWhat to listen to next:Episode 1: STARTING: It's So Hard!!Episode 39: MIND DUMPS: A Valuable Tool to Clear Your Mind and Explore What's PossibleEpisode 47: HARD RESET: How to Reboot Yourself in 4 StepsAre you ready to live a life of more in 10 minutes a day or less?

"The best proof of love is trust." --Joyce BrothersTrust is a crucial component to any relationship. If you don't trust someone, then you can't connect. You can't work together. You can't grow and appreciate one another. We focus so much on trusting those around us, that we rarely see the mistrust we have with ourselves. I talk a lot about the fact that we control what we do not trust. We orchestrate. We create rules. We dictate situations where we do not trust.  Where are we doing that in our own life? Where are we creating disorder, to keep order? In this episode, I talk about how I have come to a place of overcoming my disorder around food and now how I am using the same process to trust myself and Universe around money so that I can live more fully in my life with peace of mind. I give you four questions to identify your mistrust and four steps to regain it again.

"An addiction to distraction is the end of your creative production." --Robin SharmaDid you know that it takes 23 minutes on average to get resettled into a task after even a 5 minute interruption? Now think of how many times, as a mom, you are distracted each day. About 3 million times. So it's no wonder that we can't ever make progress on initiatives…especially those focused on ourselves. Making sure that we are taking care of every stakeholder in our life before us keeps us firmly in survival mode. We are great at surviving and keeping the balls in the air. But what can we do to create space for us and keep the distractions at bay? That's where we are headed today my friends.

"Make peace with your broken pieces." --r.h. SinA few weeks ago I shared photos from an event I did and I received an email from one of the women who attended pleading with me not to post the photo of her. She said that when she saw it, it made her cry. This is not an isolated incident. I've really paid attention to this concept over the past few weeks, and it's a topic that pops up almost daily. Hating on ourselves. Looking at ourselves with disgust. And feeling like we don't even recognize that person anymore. Here's the thing my friend. You are in there! You are beautiful. You are strong. You are powerful. And that's what those that love you, see in the same photo. But you are just allowing yourself to fade away. And it's time to take a stand. Let's sort through the photos together.

"I am the biggest obstacle to my dreams." --Craig D. LounsbroughI have yet to find a mom who does not identify as a perfectionist. Even those that swear they aren't are really just in denial. For so long we have been in survival mode. Putting our head down and getting it done. Let me just get through today, this week, this month…sound familiar? When you combine perfectionism with survival you get a perfect storm of all or nothing. We're either giving it our absolute all, or we are binging the next season of our favorite show. We are either eating only green juice, and fasting 18 hours, or eating to abandonment all weekend. All or nothing. And as a result, we are averaging out to exhaustion, shame, and disappointment. But what would living in a state of moderation or neutral look like? In this episode, I layout the dangers of what we are considering self-care in survival mode, and I give my strategies on shifting to thriving and how that changes our perspective on how we approach our work, our health, our movement, and our peace of mind.

"The best way to change the world is in concentric circles: start with yourself and work your way out from there." --James ClearI can't tell you how many times a week women say, “I've tried that…it just doesn't work?” Or, “I was doing so well, and then I fell down.” Or, “I so desperately want to lose weight, get stronger, find new work, connect more with friends, try new things, (whatever) but…I can't seem to follow through.” We all have our list of I Can't statements. Things that everyone else seems to be able to do, but we just can't. That's because we have been focusing on trying to build new skills without honing our foundational skills. When really we need to go up stream and understand what is keeping us from making good choices. What do we need to do to keep from becoming overwhelmed, over tired, over scheduled, and stressed. Because those things my friend are what are keeping us from being successful, not the lack of the “right” program. In this episode, I give you the 5 skills that everyone needs to hone to build their foundation for long term success in their personal development journey.
